3 Background Poly-γ-glutamic Acid (γ-pga) & Pudding Health Kit

4 Poly-γ-glutamic Acid (γ-pga) Unique Qualities Naturally occurring polyamide consisting of D/L-glutamate monomers. The amide linkages in γ-pga are formed between the α-amino group and the γ-carboxyl group The Molecular Weight is about 400,000

5 Poly-γ-glutamic Acid (γ-pga) Nontoxicity Biodegradability Water-solubility 4 5 Abundant carboxyl groups 6 Water absorption Potential modification

6 Applications of γ-pga Food Agriculture Biodegradable material Medicine Skin care products

7 Pudding Health Kit Wound Repairing Medicine γ-pga based hydrogel Pudding Health Kit Pudding Health Kit is a γ-pga based hydrogel containing wound repairing medicines.

8 Pudding Care Rescue Healing wounds

9 Production of γ-pga Glutamate-dependent Strains Glutamate-independent strains High fermentation cost Complex fermentation process High productivity Low fermentation cost Simple fermentation process Low productivity

10 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain Glutamate-independent strain isolated from fermented food. A B Can produce γ-pga with sucrose as its carbon source and ammonium sulfate as its nitrogen source. The construction of a glutamate-independent strain with high γ-pga yield and biomedical applications.

46 ishare -Information Sharing Platform

47 igem The information has already about established other materials a functional other platform than for all the Bio-bricks participators are still to share missing Bio-bricks Bacteria strains Antibodies Cell strains Vectors Enzymes

48 Problems We May Have PROBLEM 1 New igemers may have trouble finding experiment materials 2 PROBLEM The reproducibility of previous igem projects may not be robust.

50 1 What s ishare?

51 Information-Sharing Platform ishare as we pictured is the first step to an all-round resource sharing platform. We suggest igem teams put information of materials used in their project on ishare and label those they are willing to share. In this way, future teams could have more resources for similar work and may come up with more improvements.

52 What information you can Get and Share on ishare Bacteria strains Antibodies Cell strains Vectors Enzymes

53 PLASMID All the information are as follows LacI Er R P laci Ap R P grax pht01 oriec ORF Name of Material Function Source of this Material Other Sources for Additional Information Can other teams directly get this material from you pht01 An expression vector we used in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LL3 Mo Bi Tec(molecular biotechnology) NCBI YES

54 2 Survey on ishare

55 Survey on ishare Have you met any difficulties in finding experimental material related to your project? 19.32% 36.36% 3.41% 40.91% Yes, we have and our project was greatly delayed Yes, we have but it doesn't bother us No Others How difficult do you think it would be to repeat or improve previous igem projects? 56.82% 3.41% 34.09% 5.68% Difficult Easy It's hard to say Others Over 75% of them had difficulty finding experiment materials related to their projects. Only 6% of them think it s easy to repeat or improve previous igem projects.

56 Survey on ishare Would a Would resource you sharing like to platform be part of help ishare? in improving previous igem project? 15.91% 2.27% Yes, it will 0.00% 17.05% Yes, we'd No, love it won't to No, we won't It's hard to say 80.68% 84.09% Others Around 80% of the teams agreed that a resource sharing platform like ishare would help on solving the problems above. Up to 84% of the teams would like to be part of ishare

57 3 ishare Now and Future
